Inferior petrosal sinus sampling

Inferior petrosal sinus sampling, is a diagnostic medical procedure used to determine whether excess adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) is coming from the pituitary gland or from a source outside the pituitary. The procedure is usually reserved for patients with consistent ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome without a clear cut lesion on pituitary MRI.
